Baseball Stamps For Sale
$1650 Offered is a very obscure and highly sought 1927 stamp featuring Babe Ruth. It is part of a series cut from the Winnie Winkle section of syndicated Sunday newspaper comics. The stamp is one of a series of ten stamps; all are now in the baseball Hall of Fame. Backs are printed with random unrelated content (from the opposite side of the newspaper). This Ruth example is meticulously hand cut from the newspaper and displays beautifully without any creases, stains or other significant flaws. A very minor "scrape" along lower edge is visible in high resolution scan of stamp front. Further details about this 1912 Baseball Player Stamps are provided on the Old Cardboard website.
$3600 This lot offers an appealing example of Christy Mathewson from an exceedingly rare set of which little is known by today's vintage collectors. The stamps measure about 1-3/4 x 2-1/2 inches and have blank backs. The set contains cards for only five players, although two players (Bender and Speaker) are not confirmed by the hobby today. The three verified players are Cobb, Jackson and Mathewson. Several cards of non-sports subjects were also recently discovered. Some hobby sources place the distribution date for this set at 1912; others list it as 1913. There are noticeable signs of wear and light creasing visible on the front and back of the stamp (see high-resolution scan for detail). Overall, a very appealing addition to any collection. Further details about this 1912 Baseball Player Stamps are provided on the Old Cardboard website.
The complete set of 30 stamps featured in this set were all printed in bright colors on a 5-by-6-stamp perforated sheet. All players are shown in full-length "action" poses taken inside an empty Yankee stadium. The stamps in this set are all neatly mounted in an album produced exclusively for the set. Notably included on the inside front cover of the album are images of 10 Yankees players (including Joe DiMaggio) who were at the time actively serving in World War II. The album (and stamps) are all in above average condition. Aside from several very small creases or scratches on the front cover, all are virtually flawless (select images to view hi-res scans). Further details about this 1944 Yankees Album and Stamps are provided on the Old Cardboard website. | |||||||||||||
